Acts 2:42-47 42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to [...]
In Acts Chapter 1 we see Jesus’ final statements to his disciples before ascending into Heaven. He let’s them know that soon they will be baptized by the Holy Spirit. In response they ask if he is about to restore the kingdom of Israel. Jesus answers by saying: “It is not for you to know [...]
The story in John chapter nine (read) is one of those great passages that can give us both power and release. We see a blind man healed by Jesus and then questioned by the Pharisees. It’s ashamed to see the Pharisees more concerned about the fact that someone was healed on the sabbath rather than [...]
I was supposed to blog this week about material in John chapters 3-7, but I read beyond these chapters and was captured by this scene at the beginning of chapter 8. Read John 8:1-11. Reminds me an old poem: “How I wish that there was some wonderful place Called the Land of Beginning Again, [...]
Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said, so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor. So the spies questioned him: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and [...]
In Luke 12-16 Jesus tells many parables. Reading these chapters again reminds me of an old story that the Rabbis used to tell about the value of parables. It goes like this: Once upon a time there were twins, truth and parable. When they were young, they looked alike, but as they grew they went [...]
Read Luke 4:42-44 When I think of the word settlement I often think of the act of buying a house and taking up permanent residence. The root word ‘settle’ can also mean ‘to discontinue moving and come to rest in one place’. There are several passages that jump out to me this week in our [...]
One day as Jesus was leaving the temple his disciples pointed out the grandeur of the temple buildings. Mark 13:1-2 1 As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!” 2 “Do you see all these great buildings?” replied Jesus. “Not one stone here [...]
Why does it seem like God isn’t with me? Or, that He isn’t taking care of the things I’m facing? Most of us have felt that way at some point. It’s hard to see God at work when it seems like your circumstances are bleak. Maybe you haven’t really felt His presence in church, or [...]
As you are reading through the Gospel of Mark you will come across the intriguing story of Jesus and the demon-possessed man in 5:1-20. You may wonder about the presence of a large herd of pigs in Mark 5:11-13; and why Jesus, after He expelled the demons from the man, allowed the demons to “go [...]
“I just need five dollars!” the woman pleaded. She had approached Sara and I as we walked down a Washington, DC city street on our way to a concert. After getting our attention, she proceeded to tell us a tale about being unable to afford a cake for her young daughter who was having a [...]
How can something so big come from something so small? That’s what I often think when I look at my children. They grow up so fast–especially when you feed them, which I think there is a law about. Of course it’s not only food, but also a healthy environment that helps kids grow to maturity. [...]
This, then, is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name (Matthew 6:9). If you are like me, prayer can so easily become self-centered. The late scholar William Barclay noted this tendency: “We can be so busy thinking of what we want that we have no time to think of what [...]
Matthew chapter five (read) contains one of my favorite passages in the Bible. After Jesus gives the Beatitudes, which show us how we should live, He then explains the greater impact those attitudes can have — and should have — on the world around us. Listen to how He describes believers in the following few [...]
